Presentation Transcript

  1. Mathematics of Sharks

  2. Mathematics of Sharks When foraging for prey, Sharks follow a Lévy walk / flight characterized by short movements in random directions, interspersed with occasional longer trips in a particular direction.

  3. Biting force of Sharks By looking at the mathematical distribution of stress and strain on shark jaws, scientific researchers have found that the largest great whites have a bite force of up to 1.8 tonnes, three times the biting force of an African Lion, and 20 times harder than a human can bite.

  4. MEGALODON ANCIENT Shark Scientists have found remains of a much larger ancient shark called the “Megalodon”. Using mathematics and computer modelling they have been able to determine the size of the Megalodon as much bigger than the Great White. (became extinct because Orca Killer Whales ate its food sources).

  5. Mathematics of Sharks Complete details of all material covered in this presentation can be found in the “Mathematics of Oceans” lesson on the Passy’s World of Mathematics Website: www.passyworldofmathematics.com
